The Founder (John Lee Hancock, 2016): 2/5
Fascinating and morally bankrupt, "the first Trumpist film of the new era"

Allied (Robert Zemeckis, 2016): 2/5
Marion Cotillard is stunning, Brad Pitt bloated & confused.  Will make you appreciate The English Patient.

The D Train (Jarrad Paul & Andrew Mogel, 2015): 2/5
Homobromance similar to:
Chuck and Buck, rw (Miguel Arteta, 2000): 2.5/5

Effie Gray (Richard Laxton, 2014): 2/5

Prisoners (Denis Villenueve, 2013): 3/5
Smart genre film or dumb art film?

Zodiac, rw (David Fincher, 2007): 4.5/5
Fincher's intentions remain fuzzy, but image, sound, and vibe are extraordinary.  Was 2007 the last great year for American cinema?  (There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, The Assassination of Jesse James...)

Cabaret, rw (Bob Fosse, 1972): 3.5/5

Docs:

Off the Rails (Adam Irving, 2015): 2.5/5

Peace Officer (Scott Christopherson & Brad Barber, 2015): 2/5
Local police are now armed and trained like the military--ad nauseum

TV:

I Love Dick, season 1 (Jill Solloway, 2017): 3.5/5
My enthusiasm for the pilot has been, um, deflated

Big Little Lies (David E. Kelly, 2017): 2/5

The Night Of (Steve Zaillian, 2016): 4.5/5
Graphic displays of chronic exzema more horrific than murder scene evidence

American Crime, season 1 (John Ridley, 2015): 3/5
Casting helps network crime series seem like a cable crime series
